Whether it’s designing slides, recording videos, or setting up workspaces, a clear quickstart tutorial can turn “Wait, what do I click?” into “Got it—let’s go.”

This week in Tools of the Trade, we’re showing you how to use AI-powered prompts to create quickstart tutorials your students will actually finish—and love.

These bite-sized guides help new learners get comfortable fast, so they can focus on the learning, not the logistics.

# Canva vs PowerPoint: Which Is Better for Course Slide Design?  

Choosing the right tool for designing course slides is key for course creators. Canva and PowerPoint both deliver, but they differ significantly.  

Canva shines with vibrant, pre-made templates and a drag-and-drop interface, making it ideal for quick, professional slides. Its Brand Kit simplifies consistent styling, but the free plan limits animations. PowerPoint offers robust offline access and advanced animation options, perfect for complex presentations. However, its interface feels dated, and templates are less modern.  

For beginners, Canva is the better choice—its intuitive design and vast template library let you create polished slides without a learning curve. PowerPoint suits those needing offline work or intricate transitions.
